Drifting 10-15ft off before the unit even knew it was something I couldn't accept, and 50% of the fishing I do is submerged "items". So when the time came and I found the boat I wanted, I sold my old boat and gave the guy one heck of a deal with electronics, just to be done with it.

If not for the donut, I'd have a 998 and at least still the 788 on my new boat. I had no problem with any other functions of the unit. Having to speed away from my waypoint to get the bearings back, or running in circles was just too much. The HDS system keeps me on the spot, and on the fish. I'm going with a 3yr refresh on electronics, so a year and a half from now I'll be buying again, and hope the donut is history well before that time.
